A few days ago, Robby Gordon made headlines for their exclusion from the Dakar 2012 for technical anomalies and the subsequent appeal that allowed him to keep running. Today, once installed in Nazca, opened fire with everything and everyone. The American was not saved anything and unleashed another squall in the bivouac.

The declassification of the stewards after the ninth special between Antofagasta and Iquique, seemingly would have been a "technical non-compliance of the vehicle No. 303 with Articles 1P and 3P Technical Regulations, which is why the College of Commissioners resolved to exclude the No driver 303 of the race. "

The anomaly was related to an irregularity in the engine associated with an air intake that allows the entry of a greater oxygen flow, which directly affects the performance of the impeller. Therefore, it was partially excluded.

However, Gordon appealed the penalty imposed and the matter is in the hands of the French Federation of Motor Sports, which could take about two months to decide whether there was cheating or not.

After living in Chile tense moment, emerges again in the pilot showman California and returns to pick up dust with his statements: "As far as my car is the same system as last year, which was approved by the commissioners. It has additional air intake. And now suddenly change their minds! I exasperated "he said.

But his words were not spicy finish there, as also lashed out strongly against its rivals in the struggle for the tip. "Today I have shown that the Mini is a girls car because I have taken more than twenty minutes. I exasperate Stéphane and Nani, who have questioned my honesty calling me a cheater. Today, however, I could give them a good kick in the ass! "retorted the Yankee.
